Aim To understand how functional traits and evolutionary history shape the geographic
distribution of plant life on Earth, we need to integrate high‐quality and global‐scale …

Island biogeographical models consider islands either as geologically static with biodiversity
resulting from ecologically neutral immigration–extinction dynamics, or as geologically …

This paper reviews the palaeobiogeography of Taxus baccata (yew) and the human social
customs and traditions relating to this tree in southwest Europe. Pollen and …

The transfer of legal responsibilities from the Central Government to the Autonomous
Communities ended a tradition of paying little attention to endangered Spanish flora. The …

The Mediterranean islands are exceptionally rich in endemism, most of which is narrowly
distributed. Conservation measures, such as protected areas, have been prioritised, mainly …

Low levels of genetic diversity in endemic species are generally attributable to the small size
of their populations. This lack of genetic variability will, predictably, be more evident in those …

The catalogue of extinct plants in Spain, comprising 27 taxa is updated. Included are four
species not previously classified as extinct in Spain: Cyclamen purpurascens, Grammitis …

Medicago citrina and Euphorbia margalidiana are two microinsular species from the
Western Mediterranean which are amongst the top 50 most threatened species of the …

Species distribution modelling (SDM) has been used to support biodiversity management in
recent years. However, the use of SDM at small scales with geolocation systems to obtain …

Aim We analysed the distributional pattern of the vascular flora of the I berian P eninsula and
B alearic archipelago using cluster and parsimony methods to delineate a biogeographical …
